[0001] Technical field of the invention is an electrical machine which can operate either
in the motor mode: converting electrical energy into rotational mechanical energy
or in the generator mode: converting rotational mechanical energy into electrical
energy.
[0002] Since the creation of the first electric motors, constructors have been trying to
create ever new structures designed to eliminate or reduce the deficiencies of the
previous solutions. We can identify a number of motor features, i.e. general features
similar for all drives, such as engine performance that can be defined for each drive
which usually ranges from 50% to 95%, and special features which in some cases differ
by several orders of magnitude, such as power, revolutions per minute, weight or production
cost. In recent times, it becomes more and more important not only to use electricity
to assist us in all our activities but also the method it is used, i.e. we naturally
prefer to clean the floor with a vacuum cleaner rather than with a brush and for some
time it has become important that the vacuum cleaner is equipped with a highly efficient
motor with low power but high suction capacity. This is mainly because we have appreciated
drive parameters which were once considered insignificant and sometimes even negligible.
These features include e.g. energy efficiency, work culture (e.g. low noise operation,
reduced electromagnetic interference) and recyclability. The object subject to this
patent is the electric motor displaying extremely high performance in converting electrical
energy into mechanical energy. This motor can also operate as a power generator. Electrical
drive with extremely high efficiency has many very favourable characteristics which
are now beginning to be observable, yet not too apparent, such as:
- A: Energy efficiency. High efficiency of 99% means a very small energy loss of 1%. A motor of mechanical
power of 1000 W consumes from 1010 W - 1015 W of electrical power instead of 1100
W or 1300 Was it is currently the case. Mass utilization of such motors will result
in large savings in electricity.
- B: Financial savings. In the case of the industrial use of the motor drive, energy efficiency brings large
financial savings to the owner resulting from the small loss of energy supplied to
the device.
- C: Compact size. Small energy losses inside the motor drive mean lower thermal radiation, and consequently
it is possible to construct relatively small drives with power comparable to presently
much larger devices as such motor drives do not overheat during due to the internal
heat emission.
- D: High dynamics. High-power and compact-size drives are characterised by exceptional high dynamics
as the small size results in reduced moments of inertia and a relatively high power
generates high torque. This means that it is possible to achieve large accelerations
which is highly preferable in applications such as e.g. robotics.
- E: Low price. Compact, light weight motors - compared to the solutions existing on the market -
require the less raw materials and are less problematic in production. It is easier
to carry out assembly operations with a motor weighing 12 kg instead of 80 kg. All
this translates into a lower cost of production of the drive.
[0003] Currently, various electric motors are used, and the main criterion in the selection
of the motor is the type and nature of the work. A different drive will be used in
the air conditioning fan and a different one to maneuver the position of a robot arm.
After all, the final criterion of the drive selection is always the economics, i.e.
cost of purchasing, installing and operating of the drive. In all types of electric
drives and in most applications, one can notice more designs with enhanced performance
and their more frequent utilization. The trend will continue until we discover the
electrical drive operating with no loss.
[0004] In the present state of technical advancement, we can observe the following sources
of energy loss in motor drives:
- A. Losses in the form of heat emission in the motor coil windings. These losses arise
from the flow of electricity in a conductor of non-zero resistance. The power loss
generated by the resistance of the coil winding is numerically equal to the product
of the amount of the electric current to the second power and the resistance of coil
windings Pstrat = R * I2 (Pstrat[W], R[Ohm], I[A]). One can significantly reduce these losses by reducing the current
density in the windings and reducing the resistance of the windings. The reduction
of current density decreases the torque generated by the motor, so that to obtain
useful motor power one should increase motor rotational speed as the mechanical power
of the motor is equal to the rotational speed multiplied by the value of the drive
torque Pmech = ω * Mnap (Pmech[W], ω[Rad/s], Mnap[Nm]). The reduction of windings resistance can be obtained by changing the material
from which they are made - which is completely uneconomical as silver's resistance
is insignificantly lower than copper which is much more expensive. - or by increasing
the cross-section of the windings (thickening) and reducing the length of the windings.
The increase of motor rotational speed can be achieved by increasing the voltage applied
to the windings. In classically designed motors, such changes will result in a large
increase in inrush current and motor speed. At the start-up, such a motor may be damaged
due to the burning-out of the winding since the value of the current circulating in
the windings is a factor of the resistance of the winding and the voltage applied
thereto. Having started the motor, as the motor speed increases, the electric current
in the winding decreases due to inductance of the winding and the generation of reverse
voltage in the winding as a result of alternating magnetic field generated in the
coils. The negative effects of reducing motor windings resistance can be diminished
using the external electronic systems to control the current. These solutions are
applied in servo drives where the servo drive controller permanently tests the electricity
circulating in the windings so that it does not exceed the value safe for the motor.
It can be noticed that these drives are highly efficient, compact, with relatively
high power output and high dynamics. We owe this mainly to the development of MOSFET
transistors, the reduction of their resistance in conduction and the reduction of
the shift time which allows to create highly efficient drive power systems.
- B. Losses in the cores of magnetic circuits of coils. In the vast majority of motors,
the windings cooperate with the cores or core of the motor magnetic circuit which
consists of a batch of silicon sheets or other material. This plays two major roles:
(1) it mechanically determines the windings location and directs the flow of the magnetic
field in an appropriate manner. Unfortunately, the variable magnetic field generated
by the winding constantly re-magnetises the core and this results in power loss. The
core temperature rises simply due to the continuous relocation of the magnetic domains.
You can eliminate this type of power loss by eliminating the magnetic core. Such motors
have been known for a number of years and are called coreless or ironless DC motors.
They are produced by MaxonMotor (line: Maxon RE motors), Faulhaber or Portescap (Brush
DC Coreless Motor 28DT12). This type of drive is applied not only in classic motors:
an arm in hard disk drives (HDD) also has a coreless drive. A frame built of a winding
coil embedded in epoxy resin moves in the magnetic field generated by a pair of neodymium
magnets. Today, this is a widespread solution among the producers of such devises.
This design is characterised by both high dynamics and efficiency.
Another example of coreless (ironless) DC drive may be the drive of a diaphragm in
a loudspeaker. In the magnetic field generated by a ring magnet, there is a very lightweight
coil glued to the speaker diaphragm moving. As shown before, one can observe a very
high dynamics of the drive.
- C. Losses in mechanical commutators. Mechanical commutation, so-called switch based,
is based on supplying the current using brushes, made mostly of graphite and copper,
to these elements of the commutator, which is located on the rotor of the machine,
to which individual coils of the rotor winding are connected. Due to the resistance
at the brush-commutator connection, we observe losses of electrical energy, as well
as sparking resulting from the mechanical engagement and disengagement of the electrical
circuits. One can eliminate these losses by applying another motor design, i.e. by
placing the winding in the stator and the magnets on the motor rotor and changing
the currents in the winding coils using an electronic commutator. This type of switching
is called contactless switching and apart form eliminating the problematic element
from the inside of the motor it improves reliability of the entire drive.
- D. Losses arising from the need to generate electrically the magnetic excitation circuit.
Some motor designs, e.g. single-phase universal AC motors, are fitted with winding
coils which generate excitation magnetic flux which reacts with the magnetic field
generated by the coils on the motor rotor. This solution is today widely applied in
the household equipment, food processors, vacuum cleaners etc. Alternating current
powering the motor is supplied to the rotor by means of the brushes and the commutator.
This forces alternating magnetic field to be also generated in the stator. Therefore
permanent magnets are not used as the sources of magnetic field excitation in the
stator but instead electromagnet winding coils supplied from the same source as the
motor rotor. Although this is a widespread solution, it makes motors of this type
inefficient. This problem can be eliminated by changing the motor design, the use
of permanent magnets e.g. neodymium magnets to generate excitation magnetic flux and
an electronic commutator. Owing to this concept, the losses generated in the motor
windings arise only in the windings interacting with the excitation field, and no
loss arises in the generation of the excitation field as it is created by permanent
magnets.
[0005] Patent description No
US6163097 discloses a similar design. However, attention should be given to the following problems:
- A. In the patent disclosure, the discs contain permanent magnets in the form of monolithic
ring magnets alternately multi-pole magnetised which results in a technological problem
and reduces the selectivity, or even disturbs the distribution of the magnetic field
between the individual magnetic poles in the subsequent rotor discs.
- B. In the disclosure, the discs contain permanent magnets as monolithic ring magnets
alternately multi-pole magnetised which lowers the durability of the discs against
breaking during the rotation movement. The author provide no structural reinforcement
of the disc e.g. by application of an external ring made of e.g. glass fibre which
would contribute to increase of the maximum speed of the rotor.
- C. The disclosure presents packages of winding in the form of ring systems made of
copper sheets, rods or profiles of very low resistance. The system is very inconvenient
during installation of the device. It requires the rotor disk and stator winding rings
to be installed in sequence. Moreover, a very low resistance of the stator windings
and many magnetic poles on the rotor discs necessitate high frequency of changes of
the windings power supply. The skin effect which occurs in the windings applied by
the author will reduce the efficiency of the system and lead to the lowering of power.
It is applicable, in this type of devices, to use windings made of multicore conductors,
the so-called: stranded copper. Many cores, e.g. 200, with the very small diameter
of below 0.4 mm eliminate the skin effect causing even flow of current in the whole
cross-section of the windings.
[0006] Document
US5021698 discloses a machine comprising a plurality of axial field rotor stages each comprising
a plurality of magnet segments arranged around a driven hub in a pre-stressed assembly
in which encompassing hoop means exerts sufficient compressive stress on the magnets
and hub assembly to counter centripetal forces generated by speeds of up to 100,000
rpm. Alternative methods of stressing the hoop means is described.
[0007] Description
US5619087 discloses a design which contains most of the above solutions. However, attention
should be given to the following problems:
- A. In the disclosure, the discs contain alternating magnetic poles of permanent magnets
where each such pole is made up of many magnets with a relatively small size among
which there is no contact and the magnets by design have different induction of the
magnetic field. This is to reduce vibration during the operation and improve durability
at the increased rotational speed. This reduces the active cross-section of the magnetic
pole. A motor of this type can generate a limited drive torque which limits its usefulness.
- B. In the disclosure, the discs contain, in alternating fashion, magnetic poles made
of permanent magnets, and the lines of the magnetic pole force are locked within the
static rings made of a magnetically soft metal sheet fixed in the front plates (bearing)
of motor. This is unfavourable as the continuous over-magnetizing of the rings material
closing the magnetic circuit reduces the efficiency of the entire system.

loss during operation.
